For us, acting responsibly means much more than taking care of the environment. At UPM, responsibility is about protecting and creating value – protecting nature and providing smart and sustainable products and solutions. Our consistent efforts in responsibility issues have received recognition from several third parties and made us one of the industry leaders in several indices assessing responsibility from different points of view. Here are some examples.
